I've seen numerous teachers on Reddit talking about the staff they work with and how hard it is to get rid of some, the usual teacher union protection complaints, and students complaining about bad teachers (what else is new though). I'm sure it does vary a lot around the world though and I can say I have no real complaints about my public school education here in Australia. Maybe I was lucky. Maybe things are very different now. > My concern though is teachers are so distracted making fiscal ends meet that they can't bring their all to the classroom... Yes that's another part I didn't mention, and a living wage will address that. But you also have cases where they spend their own money on classroom supplies due to poor funding so you'd want to address that too. Once everyone is comfortable though, you need to make sure it doesn't turn into indolence which is what I was getting at.
